Chapter 129: Preparation for Death
"Nature is all true."
"In that case, I have a question for you, why do you tell the truth?" Fu Beixing said his last question. Naturally, he didn't excuse Meng Zhendong, he knew all the dirty things that Meng Zhendong did.
It's just that Fu Beixing is really curious, it stands to reason that the assassins sent by Meng Zhendong to assassinate Fu Qinglian should all be dead soldiers, and the dead soldiers are naturally mentally prepared for death, but he betrayed Meng Zhendong in order to live, which is really a bit incredible.
"I was originally an acrobatic worker in the Acrobatic Institute, but later Meng Zhendong took a fancy to me, he said that I had a good foundation and was suitable for martial arts, so he forcibly took me back to the house and trained me to be a dead soldier regardless of my wishes."
"I don't want to be a dead soldier, and I don't want to live a life of fighting and killing, for so many years, I have never really been loyal to him, I just want to live the life I want to live, and live an ordinary life as an ordinary person, so it can be regarded as a real happy life."
"But how can this place be so easy? It's easy to get in and hard to get out, and once you're chosen to be in this place, your life isn't your own. You can't go on with your life as you wish, I want to run away all the time, but I have nowhere to go, I don't have relatives, and in this world, I seem to have no place to escape. ”
"Although I have always had this idea, but I was forced by Meng Zhendong's power and did not dare to escape, until now, and now I am finally caught by you, maybe this can be regarded as a real liberation."
The assassin lowered his head and explained, perhaps that this question reminded him of many sad things, and slowly, his voice choked a little.
The assassin lowered his head, and his eyes were a little red.
After listening to the assassin's words, the three of them did not speak for a long time, and every dead soldier may have experienced many things, and also had troubles that others did not know.
It is usually the fatherless and motherless people who are more likely to be valued and choose to stay in this place, because they have no place to go, and sometimes the place they hate becomes their real home.
What kind of pain is this, he could have spent his life in the acrobatic academy peacefully, but because of Meng Zhendong, he lived a life of fighting and killing, and even his own life did not belong to him.
"So when you see a glimmer of life, you don't hesitate to tell the truth and save your life?" Fu Qinglian suddenly asked.
He suddenly understood what the assassin was up to.
Maybe he also hopes that he can get a little freedom, can really choose his life is not controlled and manipulated by others, he really hopes that he can live well with his own strength.
"Yes, for so many years, I have been living in fighting and killing, and I haven't lived a good life of my own, and I don't want to die like this." The assassin fell to his knees, head bowed, tears sliding from his eyes and falling to the ground.
Wang Qingyuan and Fu Beixing were also a little embarrassed, they didn't expect that there was such a helpless story behind this assassin.
They had all thought that this assassin should have been heinous, and they had long since lost the capital to forgive. But after hearing this story, they couldn't help but feel a little sad.
"Don't worry, since this king said that he would spare your life, he will naturally speak and count, and after Meng Zhendong steps down, this king can let you go." Fu Qinglian thought about it and said.
He was not a ruthless and unrighteous person in the first place, he had thought about letting this man in black go before, but he was afraid that if he was loyal to Meng Zhendong, it would affect things in the future and scare him, but this time he decided to really let this man in black go back.
Maybe he's been through too much, otherwise he wouldn't have become like this.
"Really?" The assassin looked up sharply, his face full of disbelief. Fu Qinglian's expression didn't look like he was deceiving people, not to mention, a man was hard to chase after him, and Fu Qinglian didn't look like a person who spoke empty words.
"Really, Brother Huang, do you agree?" Fu Qinglian looked at Fu Beixing and asked for his opinion. Although he knew that Fu Beixing would agree, after all, Wang Qingyuan was still there, and he had to give Fu Beixing a chance to speak.
"I'm right, but the premise is that I go back and be a good man, and don't do this kind of thing again." Fu Beixing agreed without even thinking about it.
Fu Qinglian agreed, he was already prone to compassion, so for him, of course, there is no opinion, anyway, this person does look very pitiful, if he is given a chance, he may really be able to be a new person.
This is a rare good thing for him.
"Thank you, Emperor! Thank you, King Jing! The Assassin kowtowed, weeping gratefully. Fu Qinglian and Fu Beixing didn't know what it was like in their hearts.
Wang Qingyuan looked at the assassin who was kneeling on the ground and kept kowtowing to Fu Qinglian and Fu Beixing, and sighed silently. The dirty things that Meng Zhendong did are really hard to write. It seems that Meng Zhendong must be brought down as soon as possible, so there will be more and more victims.
"Don't rush to thank you first, what's your name?" Fu Qinglian asked suddenly.
The assassin who was kowtowing was suddenly stunned, he didn't understand what Fu Qinglian was doing when he suddenly asked his name.
Fu Beixing was also a little puzzled, he didn't understand why Fu Qinglian suddenly inquired about the assassin's background. Wang Qingyuan knew it in his heart, and Fu Qinglian was afraid that he wanted to determine whether what the assassin said was true or false.
The assassin reacted, and still replied truthfully: "Back to the king, my name is Fang Linhao." ”
"When you were forcibly taken away by Meng Zhendong, which acrobatic academy was you in?" Fu Qinglian asked again.
"The Fang Family Acrobatic Institute is in an alley in the west of the capital." Fang Linhao also realized Fu Qinglian's intentions, so without waiting for Fu Qinglian to ask, he told the address of the acrobatic institute.
"I see." Fu Beixing finally understood Fu Qinglian's intentions, and he whispered to himself.
"Is there anything else you want to ask?" Fu Qinglian nodded and looked at Fu Beixing.
"I don't have anything to ask." Fu Beixing shook his head.
"What about Wang Shangshu?" Fu Qinglian looked at Wang Qingyuan again.
"The lower officials don't have anything to ask." Wang Qingyuan also shook his head.
"In that case, let's take him down first. If what you said is true, after defeating Meng Zhendong, we will definitely let you go. In the previous sentence, Fu Qinglian said it to Wang Qingyuan, and the latter sentence was said by the other party Lin Hao.
"Yes." Wang Qingyuan responded and sent someone to take Fang Linhao down.
"Brother Huang, it is necessary to check Fang Linhao's background, we must know if what he said is true." Fu Qinglian said to Fu Beixing.
"Well," Fu Beixing nodded and looked at Wang Qingyuan, "Wang Shangshu, this matter will be handed over to you, you must find out his background." ”
"Eh, brother emperor, there is no need to trouble Wang Shangshu in this matter, leave it to the minister." Fu Qinglian waved his hand and rejected Fu Beixing's proposal.
"Since that's the case, then Brother Lian, you can do it." Fu Beixing saw that Fu Qinglian seemed to want to investigate this matter in person, so he changed his statement.
"Thank you, Brother Huang." Fu Qinglian clasped his hands into fists and bowed to Fu Beixing.
Fu Qinglian suddenly thought that he had not yet told Wang Qingyuan about finding the mine where Meng Zhendong mined copper and the place where he minted copper coins privately.
So, Fu Qinglian looked at Wang Qingyuan and said, "By the way, Wang Shangshu, what you asked this king to investigate a few days ago has already been found out, and now, you just need to determine when to do it." ”
When Wang Qingyuan heard this, he was obviously a little excited. Meng Zhendong has been in power for so long, and he is finally about to fall. Although Wang Qingyuan was very excited, he also restrained his mood.
He didn't know how long he had been thinking about it, but it wasn't a critical moment yet, and he wasn't completely sure that he would succeed.
Wang Qingyuan knew that Fu Qinglian told him that it was just out of alliance friendship, as for when to do it, it was not something he could interfere with, he could at most make suggestions, but it was the emperor and the prince who played a decisive role in this matter.
So, he immediately made his point of view clear, and did not get too involved in this matter, but was generous: "This matter is all up to the emperor and the prince." Fu Qinglian nodded with satisfaction.
He was very satisfied with this Shangshu lord, this person was resourceful, very clever in words, not his own, and never said more than what should be said, for all of them, it was not a very good thing.
Now that everything is in place, all we need is the east wind, and I don't know when it will be implemented smoothly.
"Brother Huang, when do you think it's more appropriate to do it?" Fu Qinglian looked at Fu Beixing and asked a little puzzled.
"To avoid long nights and dreams, it's better to do it tomorrow." Fu Beixing thought for a while and said.
Of course, the sooner this matter is resolved, the better, and the sooner you can rest assured.
"Well, the longer it drags on, the greater the variables, so it's better to do it as soon as possible." Fu Qinglian nodded in agreement, I don't know how much power there is behind it, anyway, now even a hair is the best way.
"Wang Shangshu, what do you think?" Fu Beixing looked at Wang Qingyuan, wanting to hear his opinion.
"Back to the emperor, the minister agrees with the emperor's point of view, Meng Zhendong must have known at this moment that Fang Linhao has been brought to the minister's mansion, maybe he is thinking of a way, we should take him by surprise while he hasn't thought of a plan." Wang Qingyuan replied.
"In that case, let's do it early tomorrow morning. This matter will be left to you, and I will wait in the palace for your good news. Fu Beixing looked at the two of them and smiled heartily.
"Yes." Fu Qinglian and Wang Qingyuan spoke in unison.
"Brother Huang, rest assured, the younger brother will definitely complete this matter smoothly." Fu Qinglian said firmly.
"Well, Brother Lian is doing things, I am very relieved." Fu Beixing walked up to Fu Qinglian's side, reached out and patted him on the shoulder.
